Sepia Saturday: Women and Children First

Sepia Saturdaychallenges bloggers to share family
history through old photographs.

This week’s Sepia Saturday prompt is a woman and child at
the beach, possibly collecting shells. Thanks
to my grandaunt Helen Killeen Parker’s photo album, I have a number of pictures
of women and children at the beach.
However, if they combed the beach for tiny treasures to fill a bag,
there’s no evidence of it.

As was typical for Helen, she left me no solid clues as
to the identities of these women or children.
I suspect the older women in white are at Ocean View in Virginia,
probably around 1918-21.

If you’re looking for little treasures, I invite you to
follow the women and children to Sepia Saturday.

Those two women carrying children don't really look too happy to be there, but perhaps they had to keep watching other children while posing, and it's interesting how the dog is just partially in the picture.

Even though Helen didn't leave any solid clues about who these women and children were, they are wonderful pictures! It's so neat to see pictures from this era so we can see their outfits, shoes, etc. How fun!
